* "When the LORD your God brings you into the land which you go to possess , and has cast out many nations before you , the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites , seven nations greater and mightier than you , * and when the LORD your God delivers them over to you , you shall conquer them and utterly destroy them . You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them . * Nor shall you make marriages with them . You shall not give your daughter to their son , nor take their daughter for your son . * For they will turn your sons away from following Me , to serve other gods ; so the anger of the LORD will be aroused against you and destroy you suddenly . * But thus you shall deal with them : you shall destroy their altars , and break down their sacred pillars , and cut down their wooden images , and burn their carved images with fire .
